In these times of isolation and quarantine, what makes more sense than starting a new life-size self-portrait? Watch the Chilean painter Sebastian Salvo work his way through the different stages — from stretching the canvas, and preparation, to applying the first layers of paint.

    You are so kind to take all this time to teach us. I am very impressed and full of gratitude ☺️🥰. I haven't seen any artist on You Tube to do such favor in teaching, and taking so much time. You are a rare treasure of a teacher. Also a Master. May the ALMIGHTY, give you fortune and good health in your life. I simply love your work 💘!!!!

    this is one of the best demos/teachings online. Ive seen hundreds over the years and this is from a lineage of the masters. take notes.
  • @Marshabar1
    You had a compelling character from your very first strokes. The eye was already alive. Very wonderful to watch you work.

    Although the many breaks: Loved to watch and hear this process, there is enough space for the student to fill in his or her own idea of set up; in my case I should immediately involve the background in tones in order to get grip on the whole: on the tones in the portrait/figure specially. Within this context it is natural to mention the meaning of 'seeing' Christ: Thank you very much!

    This is so educational ,thanks for your explanation it’s making sense to me and I can see why the values make such a difference 😊

    Beautiful work. Initially I expected you were going to demonstrate a classical style reminiscent of the Renaissance masters. However, this piece has more in common with Cezanne! Well done.
